When she was five years old, New Flemish Alliance politician Assita Kanko was genitally mutilated in Burkina Faso. In autumn 2018, she made an appointment in Paris with Dr Pierre Foldès. ‘I can restore what they did to you,’ he said. Kanko was riddled with doubt and fear: should she have the surgery or not?

This is My History and the ‘View of the Future Shaped by the Past’ series, in which we are proud to present Paul Collowald. Mr Collowald is a journalist and writer who witnessed the emergence of today’s European Union first hand. It all started when he met one of the EU’s founding fathers, Robert Schuman. He would later go on to work in many roles at the European Commission and the European Parliament, including Director-General for Information and Head of the Private Office of Parliament President Pierre Pflimlin. His story is divided into two parts. This is part two, in which he shares his experience of working with the EU’s founding fathers. In part one, he tells us about his early life in Europe during the war. This podcast is based on an interview by Valter Mavrič, Director-General for Translation at the European Parliament.

Pablo left the comfort of his native Spain early in life to seek professional opportunities in other European countries. His journey so far has turned out to be more than just a search for a better life... Let's watch him tell his story!

Europe Day | Pablo’s story: ‘In your own country, you swim like a fish in water’

D’fhág Pablo an Spáinn, a thír dhúchais agus áit ina raibh sé ar a chompord, luath ina shaol chun deiseanna gairmiúla a lorg i dtíortha Eorpacha eile. Go dtí seo, bhí níos mó i gceist lena aistear ná saol níos fearr a lorg dó féin... Féachaimis air agus a scéal á insint aige.

Lá na hEorpa | Scéal Pablo: I do chultúr féin, i do thír féin, bíonn tú ar do chompord.

Pablo a quitté très tôt le confort de son Espagne natale à la recherche de perspectives professionnelles dans d’autres pays européens. Son voyage s’est avéré être jusqu’à présent bien plus qu’une quête pour une vie meilleure... Découvrez son histoire!

Journée de l’Europe | L’histoire de Pablo: «Dans ton pays, tu te sens comme un poisson dans l’eau.»

Pablo lähti jo varhain kotimaastaan Espanjasta etsimään ammatillisia mahdollisuuksia muista Euroopan maista. Tähän mennessä on jo osoittautunut, ettei matkassa ollutkaan kyse vain paremman elämän etsinnästä... Katsotaan, kun hän kertoo tarinansa!

Eurooppa-päivä | Pablon tarina: ”Omassa kulttuurissa ja kotimaassa on kuin kala vedessä.”

Pablo a szakmai fejlődés reményében egész fiatalon hagyta el hazáját, Spanyolországot, hogy más európai országokban próbáljon szerencsét. Úgy tűnik, eddig jóval többet nyert a jövőbeli boldogulás esélyénél ezzel az úttal… Hallgassa meg történetét!

Európa-nap | Pablo története: „Saját hazájában mindenki ismert terepen mozog.”

Pablo je rano napustio rodnu Španjolsku kako bi potražio poslovnu sreću u drugim europskim državama. Njegov životni put nije samo traženje boljeg života... Pogledajte njegovu priču!

Dan Europe | Pablova priča: „U svojoj domovini osjećaš se kao riba u vodi”

Pablo a renunțat devreme la confortul oferit de Spania sa natală pentru a căuta oportunități profesionale în alte țări europene. Călătoria lui de până acum s-a dovedit a fi mai mult decât căutarea unei vieți mai bune... Să-l urmărim depănându-și povestea!

Ziua Europei | Povestea lui Pablo: „În cultura ta, în țara ta, te simți ca peștele în apă.”

Pablo deixou cedo o conforto da sua terra natal, em Espanha, para procurar oportunidades profissionais noutros países europeus. Até agora, a sua viagem revelou-se mais do que uma mera procura de uma vida melhor... Conheça a história de Pablo contada na primeira pessoa!

Dia da Europa | História de Pablo: «No teu país, estás como peixe na água»

Pablo se je že v zgodnji mladosti preselil iz Španije, ker se je odločil, da bo poklicne možnosti iskal v drugih evropskih državah. Njegova pot pa se je izkazala za veliko več kot le iskanje boljšega življenja. Prisluhnimo njegovi zgodbi.

Dan Evrope | Pablova zgodba: „V svoji državi se počutiš kot riba v vodi.“

Pablo lämnade tryggheten i hemlandet Spanien på jakt efter jobb i andra europeiska länder. Hittills har hans resa blivit mer är bara en strävan efter ett bättre liv… Se honom berätta sin historia!

Europadagen | Pablos historia: ”I ens egen kultur och ens eget land är man som fisken i vattnet.”

Pablo už v ranom veku opustil pohodlie rodného Španielska, aby v iných európskych krajinách hľadal pracovné príležitosti. Jeho doterajšia cesta je však zjavne viac než len honba za lepším životom... Pozrite si Pablov príbeh!

Deň Európy| Pablov príbeh: „Vo vlastnej krajine sa cítite ako ryba vo vode.“

Rafael syntyi Marseillessa, mutta hänellä on romanialaiset juuret. Siksi hän tuntee usein olevansa kuin näiden kahden maan välissä. Monipuolinen kielitaito on auttanut häntä kohtaamaan tämän ongelman ja pitämään itseään eurooppalaisena. Katsotaan, kun hän kertoo tarinansa!

Eurooppa-päivä | Rafaelin tarina: ”Pääni on ranskalainen, mutta sydämeni romanialainen.”

Rafael wurde in Marseille geboren, doch seine Wurzeln liegen in Rumänien. Oft fühlt er sich zwischen den beiden Ländern hin- und hergerissen. Seine Sprachkenntnisse halfen ihm, seinen Zwiespalt zu überwinden und sich selbst als Europäer zu betrachten. Hören wir seine Geschichte!

Europatag | Rafaels Geschichte: „Vom Kopf her bin ich Franzose, aber im Herzen Rumäne.“

Nascido em Marselha, com raízes romenas, Rafael sente-se frequentemente dividido entre os dois países. O facto de falar várias línguas ajudou-o a enfrentar este dilema e a considerar-se europeu. Conheça a história de Rafael contada na primeira pessoa!

Dia da Europa | História de Rafael: «A minha mente é francesa, mas o meu coração é romeno»

Twieled Marsilja, b'għeruq Rumeni. Rafael spiss iħossu maqbud bejn iż-żewġ pajjiżi. Il-fatt li jaf ħafna lingwi għenu jaffaċċja din id-dilemma u għenu biex jikkunsidra lilu nnifsu Ewropew. Ejja narawh jirrakkonta l-istorja tiegħu!

Jum l-Ewropa | L-istorja ta' Rafael: "Moħħi huwa Franċiż iżda qalbi Rumena"

D’origine roumaine et né à Marseille, Rafael se sent souvent partagé entre les deux pays. Sa connaissance des langues lui a permis de surmonter ce dilemme et de se considérer européen. Découvrez son histoire!

Journée de l’Europe | L’histoire de Rafael: «Mon esprit est français, mais mon cœur est roumain.»

Lá na hEorpa | Scéal Theo: ‘Bíonn fonn ar gach duine a gcultúr a roinnt’

Der 18-jährige Theo kommt aus Brasilien und studiert in Italien. Seine persönliche Entdeckungsreise durch Europa hat gerade erst begonnen. Für ihn gibt es nichts, das Länder oder Menschen voneinander trennt. Sehen wir uns an, wie er dieses Gefühl der Zusammengehörigkeit beschreibt.
